"See that guy? He's got a FIVE INCH taint."

I think I was about six when my dad checked out an illustrated copy of the Hobbit from the library. It had still images from the Rankin Bass 70s cartoon. That version is out of print now so it's difficult and expensive to come by, but I'm hoping to find another illustrated version to read to my kid soon as she is almost six herself. I think that book is a big part of why I still love reading fantasy, it's just such a wonderful story.
